Of those three prospects, former Gold Medal winners Drew Fortescue, and Gabe Perrault were invited, along with defenseman EJ Emery.
Emery was a 30th overall 1st round pick in 2024 by GM Chris Drury and the New York Rangers.
Perreault in 2024 scored 10 points( 3 G, 7 A) for the US in the 2024 IIHF tournament and was the Rangers 23rd overall pick in 2023.
While, this year with the Boston College Eagles he's scored 20 points( six goals, fourteen assists) in 13 games. Perrault posted 60 points( nineteen goals, fourteen assists) in 36 games last season.
Drew Fortescue is a product of New York and finds himself as a defensive-defenseman, on Team USA. He'll play a shutdown role in the top four, scoring 4 points( one goal, three assists) in 2024.
The New York-born defenseman is teammates with Gabe Perrault on the Eagles and has a +11 and 2 assists in 13 games in the NCAA this season.
EJ Emery is the next first-round prospect who could join the Team USA roster should he make the final cut after camp. If so don't be surprised if he joins fellow Rangers prospect Drew Fortescue on the top-four pairing of Team USA.
The 1st round draft pick Emery has played 10 games with the University of North Dakota, and has a -4 this season.
Training camp will be held in the middle of December in Plymouth, Michigan where the final roster will be decided.
